Tori Amos: Difference between revisions

** Sadly, for a live DVD she put out a couple of years back, she was forced to bleep all of the cursing from "Professional Widow" so as to get Wal-Mart to carry the DVD.

*** And yet, they didn't censor "Precious Things", Tori flipping the audience off during "Father Lucifer", or a bonus interview, so the fact that only "Professional Widow" was censored doesn't make sense.

** The song is autobiographical.

* [[Gratuitous Panning]] - A lot of Tori's songs fall under this trope, most notably in "Josephine". The drums and bass are to the right, and the piano and guitars are to the left.

* [[Older Than They Look]] - Tori looked like she was in her 20s when she was really in her 30s. Then, she looked like she was in her 30s, when she was in her 40s. In 2007, she looked completely different (most suspect she got plastic surgery) and sorta inverted this trope.

* [[One-Woman Wail]] - Most notably on ''Boys for Pele''.

** Subverted with "Mary Jane". It's not about a girl.

* [[Pettanko]] - Subverted. Although she is [http://www.yessaid.com/pic/bfp-403.jpg fairly small-breasted], it apparently has never been an issue for her.

* [[Rape As Drama]] - Tori Amos was raped once, and her song "Me and a Gun" (and probably many more after that) is based on her sexual assault.

* [[Rearrange the Song]] -

* [[Religion Rant Song]] - "God" (Type 1), "Crucify" (type 2), "Icicle" (type 2/3 with side of [[Take That]] by way of [[A Date With Rosie Palms]]).

* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]] - "Riot Poof" is often misspelled as "Riot ''Proof''".

** "If you need me, me and Neil'll be hangin' out with the DREAM KING / Neil says hi by the way," in "Tear in Your Hand"

** "Get me Neil on the line. No, I can't hold. Have him read 'Snow Glass Apples' where nothing is what it seems," in "Carbon" refers to Gaiman's short story, "Snow, Glass, Apples"
